Everybody knows American newspapers have been struggling with hard times, online challengers, and near-death experiences.

But to see that up close and personal in the inner sanctum of The New York Times is still arresting.

A new documentary – “Page One” - goes inside the Times as papers are folding, cutbacks reign, and new actors like Wikileaks are becoming the headlines.

It’s director is with us. As are Jeff Jarvis, David Mutter, and Times star media reporter David Carr.

This hour On Point: “Page One”, and the fate of American news.
